I have implemented
- (NSString *)descriptionWithLocale:(id)locale
{
return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<data of length %d>", [self length]];
}
no in my category, but this method isn't used either by NSLog(@"dic %@", dic)!?
:-(
I checked core/base/Source/NSData.m but it has no implementation for
descriptionWithLocale: either!?
Thanks,
Andreas
